They are usually pretty hardy and all terrain. So from my side of things, this headset was great, the people I talked to did not like it. So now I just finished my 2nd week. Maybe it?s just because I went from a crappy wireless mouse to a super awesome corded mouse, but my DKR has improved too. I bought these as an Amazon Deal of the Day, which was great, until they arrived, were too large, and had to be sent back for a size smaller. The rope is good quality. Hunted far and wide for an attractive spice rack with minimal footprint and found it with this. To top it off, a surprise bonus gift with a nice heart warming note from the ULIX team member "Alice", indeed thoughtfulness to the very last detail. The top of the toe post is painful where it meets the top as it is so hard and one of the straps rubs underneath the buckle. I email them demanding a response.
